The announcement comes the same day a White House official told NBC News that President Donald Trump would be attending the game.
They can save time by only removing ND from END and adding MOR before END.

Responding to the collective movement of 2020 with endzone prints was a bad look. Removing them is an even worse look. It’s like when google changed their slogan from “Don’t be evil”
Yeah we all knew they were evil before, but when they stopped claiming to not be evil they got worse.
Well. This is that for the NFL. They did almost nothing to help their players and fans, and now they’re doing even less.
More of a meta comment, but are all organisations stuck with their slogans forever?
NFL rotates these messages and this game it moves from “End racism” to “Choose love”. Next it will rotate again and people will be upset they removed the “Choose love” slogan because they are anti-LGBT?
Google changes their motto from “Don’t be evil” to “Do the right thing” and everyone is upset. One day they will change it again and everyone will be upset because of course they are not doing the right thing anymore?
Both NFL and Google are evil and deserve no sympathy, but I wonder what’s the expectation here? Never change any slogan?
Racism is over, brought to you by Bud Light

KANSAS CITY RACISTS
Because they want to continue racism? I mean, how did it get there in the first place. “Oh wait… Nevermind. We weren’t serious.”
Imagine a world where every single POC quit on the spot. Goddamn, that would be beautiful.
Sadly it only happens on The Boondocks when the players went on strike to protest racial injustice and it forced political change. In reality the athletes liked money too much to support Kapernick or individually support BLM.
NBA too
Are they taking it off the helmets too, did we solve racism already?
They’ll replace it with “End DEI”.
I feel like this is a great time to point out just how many of both teams playing in the Super Bowl are black (I didn’t count them, but just take a look at their roster).
Interested to see how things play out. I’m hoping for protests on both teams when the game starts, but I’m worried what I’ll get is a perfect example of why money is the root of all evil.
Call me a pessimist, call me a realist, idgaf. There’s no way they aren’t playing. Even though they all make more money than we would ever need in our lives in one year, they’ll still bend the knee and lick boots for one more million.
Because they’re gonna replace it with “End Fascism”, right?
anakin face
The problem is that most “anti racism” campaigns are just low ganging “white men bad” bullshit. They don’t actually tackle the source of racism or actually do anything to help minorities, since that would cost actual money.
So they just attack white men, which alienates working class people because they are getting fucked by the system just like the rest of us schmoes.
In reality it’s another way to divide the working class against each other, because Cletus from Alabama is getting fucked just like Wayne from the Bronx, but they are both being pitted against each other by the ultra rich and mega corps.
The right latches onto the anger of Cletus and tells him it’s all Wayne’s fault the left rushes to the side of Wayne and tells him Cletus is a racist piece of shit that needs to be knocked down a peg.
Meanwhile, Chad is siphoning both their 401ks and laughing his ass off from his mansion.
Most MAGA people I have been forced to listen to, say there is only racism against whites. “Racism can only be a supremacist view” (not simply I just hate/suspect members of a race because…) and so accusing America of being racist “can only be an anti-white racist view”.
That NFL removes this, may, just may in the DEI advocate view, encourage whites to adopt supremacism instead of being angry that this “racism against whites” is the new NFL approved policy.
Now racism won’t end at the end zones!
My consolation is that these motherfuckers are not ready for how hard the pendulum will swing back.
It will be a proper wrecking ball.
No it wont. Normal people are tired of being preached to when they are at a football game of all places. Ironically sports were at the vanguard of improving race relations in the United States. There’s something to be said for showing rather than telling.
I would be amazed if there is anything left to demolish once they’re finished.
I agree, what’s that timeline look like for you though? 4 years? 8 years? The “wait” is gonna fuckin’ suck.
Crossing my fingers for the first trans president, though.
Frankly I couldn’t tell you, but whatever the timeline is, I expect it will be much faster than before, as everything is.
There are a few very young politicians and new media commentators that know what’s up, and I think we should rally around them.
In the meantime, boycott as best as possible, build, develop and protect your community and funk up the authoritarian machinery at every turn possible.
The revolution will be federated.
“Funk up the authoritarian machinery at every turn possible.”
I’ll bring the drums 😎
Jokes aside, that sentence is something I’ve been thinking about a lot lately. “How can I cause the most disruption with the least harm?” lmfao No good answers yet, but I’ll keep pondering 🤔🫡

You seriously think that I’m to the point of asking those questions, but I haven’t considered voting? lmfao
Jesus fucking Christ, I have voted in every single election I’ve had the opportunity to. Miss me with that dEmOcRaCy bullshit.
Which young politicians and new media commentators would you point to? I need new people to follow.
“The revolution will be federated” fuck yeah

2026 could be a great year for the Dems in the Senate. The Republicans currently hold 22 of the 33 seats up for election. Depending on how much Trump fucks the economy, it’s mathematically possible for the Dems to hold 67 Senate seats in 2027.
That’s enough to simultaneously impeach and remove Trump and Vance and elevate a Democratic Speaker of the House to the Presidency.
The odds of it happening are almost zero. They won’t win all 33 elections - but they could conceivably get to 60 seats - enough to block GOP fillibusters. They managed it in 2008, and that’s the same Senate cycle up for election in 2026.
Assuming fair elections even happen. I’m guessing the FEC is on the list to get DOGEd, at which point all bets are off.
Honestly it was pretty dumb to begin with. “End racism” is not really a measurable or actionable goal.
Its a message that society won’t accept racism. As in, if you are acting racist, you are a problem to society. Its the “only YOU can prevent forest fires”. Its a call to personal action.
Removing that message from the field when it was there before does the reverse saying “Racism is a-okay!”.
I hard disagree. It would be different if it said something like “black lives matter” but “end racism” is far to vague to be useful. People who are deliberately racist aren’t going to stop and the people who are biased will just keep being biased since that’s not racism in there minds.
People who are deliberately racist aren’t going to stop
They may not change their minds, but they do change their actions.
and the people who are biased will just keep being biased since that’s not racism in there minds.
If these people are exhibiting racist behavior they think is acceptable, and those around them admonish them for that behavior, it can affect change.
I don’t know how old you are, but we’ve already seen the pattern of societal behavior change from social pressures and awareness.
In the 1990s it was very common to use the word “gay” as a slur disconnected to that person’s actual sexual orientation, but merely as an insult as though being gay was a bad thing. It was common in the young and adults. However, you don’t see that today. If you use the word “gay” as a slur, you’re seen as homophobic and its a large social turnoff to all but the far right.
“Stop Littering” campaigns are another example about using social pressures to change behavior.
This clip from the TV show Mad Men was shocking to the audience when we saw it, because we couldn’t believe they could be so thoughtless to litter like that:
How did that change? Campaigns like “End Racism” at NFL games work to affect change to make that a reality.
Cowards.
